Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a digital satellite receiver having a magnetic card reader according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is an internal configuration diagram of a digital satellite receiver according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, a digital satellite receiver having a magnetic card reader according to the present invention receives a high frequency signal from a satellite antenna (ANT). The satellite broadcasting receiver 21, which tunes a broadcast channel, demodulates and depresses it, and then outputs it to a television set as an analog signal, connects a communication line between the telephone line and the microcomputer 20 to communicate between the microcomputer and the subscriber management system. Modem 22, a cash card or credit card, including a magnetic card reader 23 for reading a magnetic card, and information from the magnetic card reader 23, and then the modem ( And transmits the data transmitted from the subscriber management system to the subscriber management system through the modem 22, and simultaneously receives the transmission. It is composed of a microcomputer 20, which performs a control operation according to the data.

The satellite broadcasting receiver 21 tunes and QPSK demodulates a satellite signal from the satellite antenna ANT, converts it into a digital signal, and then corrects an error, and the channel unit 21-1. A conditional access unit 21-2 for descrambling a digital signal from the CDMA signal, and a demultiplexer 21 for outputting the signal from the conditional access unit 21-2 separately, and outputting audio, video, and service information. 3) and an audio / video decoder 21-4 which decompresses and outputs an audio signal and a video signal from the demultiplexer 21-3 according to the MPEG II standard, and the audio / video decoder 21-4. The video encoder / audio DAC 21-5 converts the video signal from the video signal into an analog signal according to a TV broadcasting method, converts the audio signal from the audio / video decoder 21-4 into an analog signal, and then outputs the analog signal. ).

The microcomputer 20 incorporates a payment program for executing payment when requesting payment from the subscriber management system using data read from the magnetic card reader 23.

3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation according to the present invention.

Operation according to the digital satellite receiver of the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the operation of the satellite broadcasting receiver 21 in the digital satellite receiver according to the present invention will be described briefly. It is input to the receiver 21, and the channel unit 21-1 of the satellite broadcast receiver 21 tunes and QPSK demodulates the satellite signal according to the control of the microcomputer 20, converts it into a digital signal, and then an error. The correction is provided to the conditional access unit 21-2. The conditional access unit 21-2 descrambles the digital signal from the channel unit 21-1 to the demultiplexer 21-3 when a descrambling permit command from the microcomputer 20 is received. The demultiplexer 21-3 separates the signal from the conditional access unit 21-2 into audio, video, and service information, and provides the audio and video signals to the audio / video decoder 21-4. The audio / video decoder 21-4 decompresses the audio signal and the video signal from the demultiplexer 21-3 to the video encoder / audio DAC 21-5 according to the MPEG II standard. The video encoder / audio DAC 21-5 converts a video signal from the audio / video decoder 21-4 into an analog signal according to a TV broadcast method, and also from the audio / video decoder 21-4. Of The audio signal is converted into an analog signal and then output to a television set.

In the satellite broadcasting receiver according to the present invention operating as described above, when payment is requested from the subscriber management system, card payment is possible through the magnetic card reader, which will be described below.

Referring to FIG. 3, the microcomputer 20 determines whether there is a payment request from the manager management system, and if there is a payment request, the viewer determines that the payment is possible with the magnetic card reader 23 (cash card or credit card). ), The magnetic card reader 23 reads the information on the card and then sends it to the microcomputer 20. The microcomputer 20 stores the read data and then transmits the data through the modem 22. The subscriber management system requests an inquiry about the transmitted data while transmitting to the subscriber management system.

The subscriber management system inquires the name of the cardholder, resident registration number, the amount of payment and the like and transmits the data to the microcomputer 20. The microcomputer determines whether the card payment is possible after receiving the inquiry result. If the card payment is possible, the microcomputer 20 receives the payment data after requesting the payment for the payment to the subscriber management system, requests the approval number, receives the approval number at the time of payment, and stores the approval number, and displays the screen. Output it.

According to the present invention as described above, by providing a digital satellite receiver with a magnetic card reader that reads a credit card or a cash card, there is a special effect to facilitate the payment of broadcasting charges, royalties, etc. .

The above description is only a description of one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is capable of various changes and modifications within the scope of the configuration. In addition, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the digital satellite receiver including the magnetic card reader is not limited to the above-described embodiment.
